Chemical Structure of PPDs (e.g., Dutrey+ 1997; Markwick+2002, Aikawa+ 2002, Bergin+ 2007) ESA Halley H 2 O, CO 2, CH 4, CH 3 OH, H 2 CO, NH 3, etc. ・ Depletion of CO: midplane of outer disk ・ Relatively large molecules: middle layer ・ Radicals: disk surface

G. Mathews’ talk yesterday
10
Complexity vs Simplicity How predictive are chemical models? A general procedure (there are others) ➡ Use dust SED (and sometimes submm imaging) to constrain dust physical structure assuming grain size distribution (variable) and composition ➡ perform UV/Xray radiation transfer within this framework alongside gas chemistry/thermal balance ➡ predict abundances/column densities and sometimes emission ➡ large number of chemical and physical assumptions (constrained as best we can)
11
CO Ladder workshop BUT - not all species are CO!
12
Complexity vs Simplicity What does this mean ➡ complex models can betray what species trace what layers in the disk (think turbulence/ionization) -- can be confirmed with observations ➡ simple assumptions of abundance structure are reliable approach to directly match observations (ALMA surveys) - need information from models to make approximations ➡ complex models can betray what chemistry/physics is needed to even approach observational results

15
Nature vs Nurture How much of the final disk chemistry is inherited from previous interstellar phases? (Water destruction and reformation in disks? Aikawa’s talk) Under which circumstances can such an inheritance be ignored when modeling? (ProDiMo, Chapillon’s, Bergin’s and Millar’s talks, etc) Contradictory evidence from disk and Solar system observations? (H 2 CO in disks, comet compositions) Is there any chemistry that is unique to the pre-disk stages?
16
How much is the chemistry reset during disk formation? What Class 0/1 molecular observations would help? Evidence from T Tauri stage observations? Evidence from comet abundances? [Herbst & van Dishoeck 2009]
